Investigative agencies have initiated a comprehensive scrutiny of the financial dealings, assets, and properties linked to Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and his alleged associate, Amanullah. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), and Capital Development Authority (CDA) are currently examining various legal and financial aspects of the matter to determine the legitimacy of these holdings.
According to official sources, one of the primary properties under intense scrutiny is a residential house located at House No. 7, Street 83, Sector G-6/4, Islamabad. Official records indicate that the property is registered in the name of Amanullah, who had the ownership transferred to his name on May 23, 2019, against a declared consideration of Rs50 million.
The investigating agencies are currently evaluating whether the property was deliberately undervalued in comparison with prevailing market rates at the time of the transaction. The objective of this assessment is to determine if such undervaluation was utilized to reduce tax liabilities and other statutory dues owed to the state.
The ownership trail of the property is extensive, dating back to 1966. According to available documentation, the title passed through several individuals and a guest house entity before eventually being transferred to Amanullah.
Investigators are tracing these historical transfers to ensure full compliance with land acquisition laws. Records further indicate that Amanullah's business interests and assets are not confined to a single property.
His name is associated with several prominent business entities, including Mount Hayat Hotel and Resorts, ASQA Enterprises, Achakzai Properties, Achakzai Real Estate, Al Widaq Associates, and M. Azam Younas and Company.
The FIA and FBR are conducting a comparative analysis to determine whether his declared sources of income, total assets, and personal lifestyle are consistent with one another. This financial audit is a critical component of the broader investigation into his economic activities.
Meanwhile, the FIA has formally initiated an inquiry against Amanullah over serious allegations involving hawala-hundi, money laundering, and suspicious cash transactions. These activities are being investigated under the relevant anti-money laundering statutes of Pakistan.
As a precautionary measure, his name has been placed on the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL) and the Passport Control List (PCL), according to well-placed sources. These restrictions are intended to prevent him from leaving the country while the investigation is ongoing.
The FIA had previously issued formal notices summoning Amanullah to appear in person for questioning on Nov 2 and Nov 6. However, he reportedly failed to appear before the investigators on both designated dates, raising concerns regarding his cooperation with the legal process.
Following his continued non-appearance, the agency has issued a third notice directing him to appear on Nov 10. Authorities have indicated that further legal action may be taken if he fails to comply with this latest summons, as the investigation into his financial dealings continues to intensify.
